Datsun 510
 

For sale near me. Yellow, 4 door 4 cylinder 4 speed. Black interior, 1971 model.


All he is asking is OBO. Should I spring on it? I will atleast call him tomorrow and get some info, hopefully go over and get some pictures.


mmmm rotary conversionnnnnnnn

No, its a horrible idea.

So whats this guys phone #? :D

ask him if he wants a 83 gsl?

Definitly pick it up if it is solid. Find a 13B, bridge it, give it a nice 2 barrel, and scare the hell out of grandma.

not a bad idea...but wouldn't you rather save the cash for an RX-3....

Yes, I would much rather have an RX3, but those are rare to come by. Especially being on the east coast.

thats very true. i have never personally seen an RX-2 or 3...

I have seen both, all I havent seen now is the original cosmo and the RX5.

I would trade both my cars for a RX3 or REPU.

Ironic, isn't it? Out here in Cali where cars last forever, the gov't is trying to kill the old ones off, while back east where you're allowed to have them, you can't find any as car-cancer eats them all up.

I've even seen R100's running loose out here.

Kinda looks like Cuba out there in California, I've been there, it's true.

On the Datsun 510 Stu, 1971 was a technologically backwards year (we were all on pot and protesting an offensive government, not a great time for tech).

I'd sink my bucks into an 85 SE, more tech for your buck. Or anything with a 12A in it, designed by the Mazda engineers.

SE's are over rated. Buy a GSL and put in a S4 motor and ECU. Then you can have a better FI first gen cheap and easy.
Or stay 12a and get a good carb to pull from the gsl-se's

I have an rx-5 cosmo,

Just come from a junk yard with 3 piston 808?

and 4 of the piston trucks with reverse hood. kind of tempted on one or two of them.

Do they let you buy whole cars from the junkyard?

There is a junk yard up here that won't let you. There was a 56 Caddy here, and a guy was like "I want it, how much" and the yard wouldn't sell the whole car to him. They cut it in half and sold both parts to him. He just took it home and welded it back :D

Stu, get a GSL, they are cheap and you can get them in one piece.

I would! Sell me yours :tonque:


Just called the guy, his wife answered the phone. They have someone looking at it in a few minutes. Man, she gave the worst directions... 10 minutes of take a left here go right there watch the fork in the road etc.


All I needed was the zip code!

If someone buys this 510, maybe it would be a good thing. I get to stay Mazda :D

yep and Stu I have just the one for you.

Pics or ban!

I love the 510. Total rip-off of the 2002ti, but great little cars. Let's see it!

believe me, they are ugly as hell :)

Man I would so much rock the 510 with a NA 3 rotor carb'ed !
That would be bad ass and still be able to take the kids with me.

Tell me that is not the one for sale, because I would offer him a couple of gran for that in a heartbeat.

No that is not the one for sale. I will call them tomorrow, hopefully I can get to see it. I will take some pictures, but someone else has my camera, so yous guys will have to do with a camera phone :)

lol i just raced one of those guys... sadly i didn't know it until he started getting ahead of me... then i floored it... he was like 2 times louder than me.
